LEO DAFT, OF GREENVILLE, NEY JERSEY.

RAI LWAY-CA R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,987, dated August 5, 1884.

i Application filed January l2, 1834. (No model.)

To all whom t mag/concern:

Be it known that I, Lne Darin, ra subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Green ville, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful improvement in Cars for Elevated Railroads, oi" which the following is a full, true, and eX- act description, reference being had to the aecolnpanying drawing.

The object of my invention is to construct a ear which may be drawn at high speeds upon railroads upon which the track is elevated above the ground Without danger of the ear being thrown from the track.

My invention will be readily understood from the accompanying drawing.

A represents the ear traveling upon the rails B. These rails are supported upon suitable frame-Work. As shown, the wheels C C are attached to the top of the car A. Beneath, the ear is provided with the guide-'rollers D l D, running upon the guiderod E, which may be supported at suitable intervals upon the frame-Work E. The ear is thus hung upon the Wheels C and prevented from lateral 1nove meut by the rollers D and supplemental rail E, and, as will be readily seen. it can be run at great velocit-y Without any danger of flying; from the track. I

What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the elevated rails, of a car provided with Wheels at its upper por tion, whereby the ear is suspended from and between the rails, and guide-rollers attached to the bottom of the car, traveling upon a guiderail, whereby the car is prevented from lateral movement, substantially as described.

' LE() DAFT.
